For more than 20 years, Louise lived and worked in London in order to finance a fairly serious rough-travel habit. In 2002, she and her now-husband (M.) bought a pile of granite in the tiny medieval village of Carmine Superiore overlooking northern Italy's Lago Maggiore, and set about turning it into a holiday-home. Six years, two children (AJ, 5, and B, 3), six cats, dozens of chickens and a broken-wing seagull later, and she finds herself with an almost-finished home, but is starting to wonder what happened to the holiday...
A View from Carmine Superiore is based on daily life in a small village in northern Italy, but it's a writer's prerogative to embroider and embroider I sometimes do. So please don't hold me liable for any actions you decide to take as a result of reading this blog...
